I've never understood why #STL doesn't show up for the @SpaceApps hackathon. @STLScienceCtr would you host?

Designers, dreamers, coders, and non-coders welcome. Register now as we explore #OpenScience together: bit.ly/44JtwPj
The pharma supply chain is not as resilient as we expect and need. Penicillin is just one of many active pharmaceutical ingredients that have been hammered by price pressures, manufacturing issues, and lack of a coherent strategy. This will not go away i…lnkd.in/gzfx2EWd

Saw this @dstrom post on #lastmile #porchpirates #packagedelivery and #firstmile and thought of my conversations with the forward thinking visionary @FrankBeard about the future of #conveniencestores. Frank, with many consumers get…lnkd.in/edM3y2UG lnkd.in/eYYXXrpN
When a giant company wrecks your life, what are you gonna do? They can hire more and better lawyers, and they have people whose sole job is fighting off suits - are you gonna beat those people by suing as as a side-hustle? Do you wanna be a full-time, professional litigant?

A disruptive brand doesn't automatically equal growth, share or ROI. This is a great look at how M&A is not a replacement for organic growth (and the combination of discipline and innovation that drives it) for #CPG and #FMCG brand…lnkd.in/gZfWHEGM lnkd.in/gJdEu9NJ

Favorite quote of the day (this from Roger Martin on stats, strategy, and business education):
"The business educational complex graduates 600 thousand students per year who have been taught to be conservatively overconfident." lnkd.in/gPUNm4pf
Living organisms shed DNA into the environment just by being alive in it. These eDNA traces become more actionable for uses both altruistic and nefarious as the cost of sequencing drops faster. Without ethical common ground and gov…lnkd.in/gHafweVR lnkd.in/g4gd5cB7

A ponzi scheme in #cattlefarming that resulted in millions in losses, lawsuits from #agfinance behemoths like Rabo AgriFinance, and the suicide of the alleged mastermind? Who needs streaming dramas when reality is even more tragic? lnkd.in/gRbCXpvg
